Chapter 6: Popular Activities in Washington (Ask for Recommendations, Ask for Collections)
Li Xiao walks on the streets of Suzhou City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
I saw that the low-rise houses were scattered and lined up one after another.
The vendors and shops on both sides also opened early, shouting and shouting.
There are people shopping, driving cars, and seizing goods on the streets, and there are many people, a prosperous scene.
It is said that as soon as Li Xiao shuttled into this world, he entered Washington, but he didn't know much about this Suzhou City, and after many inquiries, he found a blacksmith shop in the east corner of the city.
"What, you want to make a throwing knife?"
When Master Wang, a blacksmith with a cheeky face and a body full of meat, listened to Li Xiao's request, he couldn't help but be stunned.
There are people who come here to make kitchen knives, spatula, planer knives, and door knockers, but this is the first time I have heard of the request for throwing knives.
"That's right, I don't know if you're convenient?"
When Li Xiao said this, he also felt a little up and down in his heart, I don't know if in this era, there will be knife control and the like.
After hesitating slightly, Blacksmith Wang pinched his beard, squeezed his eyebrows, and said, "As long as you have money, you can build anything here." If you want to throw a knife, you need a copper coin. ”
The corners of Li Xiao's mouth twitched.
Consistent copper coins? According to the purchasing power of the Ming Dynasty, it is equivalent to more than 460 Chinese dollars. However, he only had a total of 150 copper coins on him from beginning to end, where could he be.
In my memory, the rest of the money was spent with Tang Bohu and the four of them, and they went out to spend all their time.
Li Xiao pleaded with some embarrassment: "Master Wang, can it be cheaper?" ”
"It's very difficult to build a throwing knife, and I don't do it if I don't do it more than usual." Blacksmith Wang waved his hand and said bluntly.
After hearing this, Li Xiao was originally ready to leave in a huff.
But when you turn around, take a look.
I found that there were many picture scrolls posted on the walls of the king's blacksmith's house, and when I looked at the characters on the picture scrolls, they were all female figures, or scratching their heads and posing, showing their backs.
It is a vivid picture of the spring ~ palace, and it is specially framed with a gold frame, which is enough to show the interests of the king blacksmith.
A shameless idea was born in Li Xiao's mind.
"Master Wang, the younger brother is strapped for money, so that's all there is left. If it's not enough, can it be compensated for with paintings? ”
"Painting, what painting?"
Li Xiao pointed to the room behind him: "It's the paintings you put on the wall." ”
"Can you draw a spring ~ palace map similar to that level?" Blacksmith Wang looked Li Xiao's servant outfit up and down again, and he didn't believe it.
Just kidding, as the fifth most talented person in Jiangnan, the identity set by the system is to be good at spring ~ Gongtu!
"No problem."
"Okay, if you can really draw it, you don't need more than 100 yuan, just a painting that wins my heart." The blacksmith rubbed his hands together, looking eager for a painting.
Words are spoken.
Paper, ink, pen, and inkstone are readily available.
The drawing paper was spread out, Li Xiao was holding the pen, and his wrist fluttered. Li Xiao only felt like a divine help, as if the use of the brush and the outline of the character lines were already stored in his mind, and they were natural.
Not long after, the picture of a delicate beauty bathing in a basin is on the paper.
As for the effect of the painting, it is enough to see it from the way the blacksmith Wang held the scroll, hugging left and right.
Li Xiao was also a little incredulous, looking at his outstretched hands.
It is said that there are three hundred and sixty lines, and he is the champion of the line, and he really believes it now! At this time, he was a little grateful, and the system set this identity for himself. If you really want to talk about market demand, his paintings are no worse than Tang Bohu's landscape paintings.
In the end, Blacksmith Wang confiscated Li Xiao's money and asked him to come to the shop to get the flying knife after three days.
......
Three days later, Li Xiao got the refined flying knife from Blacksmith Wang as he wished.
The handle of the knife in his hand, the thin and sharp blade, the tip of the knife flashed with a faint cold light. Sure enough, it was a good knife, and Li Xiao couldn't put it down.
Return to Washington.
Li Xiao happened to meet Tang Bohu head-on, with two dark circles under his eyes and a nosebleed.
Although it looks miserable, it looks like there is an inexplicable sense of joy.
"Brother Bohu, what's wrong with you?"
"Hey, it's unfortunate to say that my affair with Sister Pomegranate was discovered by Wu Zhuangyuan. I can't imagine that my five great talents in Jiangnan have fallen to such a point, sad, sad. Don't let me see Wu Zhuangyuan again next time, if I see him again, I won't blow his eyes! ”
It's just that as soon as Tang Bohu finished speaking, a thunderous loud noise suddenly came from the courtyard.
"Who's saying bad things about me!"
Wu Zhuangyuan didn't know when, but he came out of the courtyard again, pinching his waist with horizontal eyebrows, looking like he was going to beat someone.
Tang Bohu stuck out his tongue and quickly slipped away.
Li Xiao also cast a sympathetic look at Tang Bohu.
......
Since Li Xiao has become the little housekeeper in Washington, he naturally does not need to work hard every day like Tang Bohu, and in his spare time to help take care of things in the house.
Li Xiao also did not forget to practice Xiao Li's flying knife.
Because in addition to capturing Qiu Xiangfang's heart, there is also a second task, which is to win the first place in the weapon spectrum. And this is naturally about to defeat the scholar life-killing sword and the overlord gun, in addition to looking for an opportunity, the improvement of his own strength is also a great dependence, so of course Li Xiao does not dare to slack off.
Although it is already a secret book, it is necessary to improve faster and improve proficiency through continuous practice.
He deliberately turned out a piece of wood from the stove and cut it into flat and round pieces. Then I asked Qiu Xiang for rouge, and according to the depth of the color, from the middle to the edge, several ring areas were smeared in turn, which was very distinct.
Li Xiao used this target and nailed it to the trunk of the tree. Then he stood twenty meters away, aimed at the center and threw the flying knife in his hand, practicing his accuracy, but he deliberately reduced the force of the knife, otherwise no matter how many targets there were, he would have to be poked by him!
However, what he didn't expect was this. was attracted by Li Xiao's invention, and even made the four fragrances of spring, summer, autumn and winter also participate in the project of throwing flying knives.
In Washington, the life of the maidservants was already very boring, and there was a lack of leisure and entertainment activities. This activity of throwing flying knives came into being, which greatly stimulated their interest, and then attracted the maids and subordinates in the house. In everyone's free time, they will gather together to see who throws more accurately.
Not only are these servants playing energetically, but some people even see that in private, Master Hua and Mrs. Hua are very happy to participate in this activity, and they also specially sent people to create several targets, which is called a lot of fun.
It seems that because of Li Xiao's appearance, for a while, the entire Washington House became jubilant.
